And the folks topping the chokers list...

 

1. Kuldeep - Mental midget

2. Gill - Hasn't shown up in knockouts

3. Rohit - Quickfire 10s and 20s is not what the expectation is from an opener

Pandya played a clutch knock in a tricky chase. A wicket at that time would have given Aus a lot of hope. Too much stone-walling would have let the required rate difficult to chase. His two sixes came at the right time to nail the chase.

Pandya is an unsung hero. He always shows up and is clutch. If he had stayed fit in 2023 WC, we win the tourney. I don't think we've lost to Aus with Pandya in the team!

Many small performances today

 

Axar wicket of Maxwell and short cameo

Shami 3 wickets

Jadeja wicket of Labu and Inglis when they were looking set for 300

Iyer patnership with Kohli after 2 early wickets

Axar once again was with zero nerves looked rock solid until he gave it away.  Icy vein.  India needs more such players.

that doesnt make sense. Nerves made him give it away

[deepdynamo]

KL, for the first time in his career, has shown clutch genes though all that heavylifting was done by Iyer, Axar & Pandya...

 

but still  for KL this time.

[Lord]

Whole team played clutch throughout the tourney

His role is taking on spinners. But at that point he didn't have to. He should have reviewed his role

Yes it just needed strike rotation.

[vvvslaxman]

Dube second time  

 

Tilakr twice in this year alone

 

As usual King Axar  delivered with ball in the final

 

 

ON the other hand Gill and SKY disappeared one more time.

Abhishek's first final. Not too worried as of now.

 

Kuldeep also turned up again after CT final

Clutch: Axar, Dube, Tilak, Iyer, Rinku

Softies: Gill, SKY, Samson

 

Time to get players who can handle pressure instead of mental midgets. Can't believe selectors are preferring Gill over Jaiswal and SKY over Iyer.

I think they have ruined Samson by shunting him all over. We have Pant, JItesh, Jurel, Kishan, PRabhsimran and Sanju. Among these guys only Sanju can score a 100 at good rate. That is why they are backing him. But he cannot be played so down the order.

Samson can only perform in the top order. He doesn't deserve spot lower down the order. Plus he isn't someone who handles pressure well. He's more in Gill and SKY category than Tilak, Axar, Iyer, Rinku.

Bringing in Gill top of the order is causing the problem, he does not bring any special skill set for a top order t20 batter.

Tbh if they want or wanted some1 who can hold one end when needed, they could have hold on to one of Kolhi or rohit. Kolhi offers an elite chaser and rohit is 6 hitter.

 

Its hard to understand what TM and selectors are doing with Gill's selection in t20i other than they see large marketability.

Either Gill should be replaced by Samson as opener, or he needs to be replaced by Jaiswal and have Jitesh as wk lower down the order. Pick either option but Gill doesn't deserve to be in T20s just like SKY.
